Not because their balance sheet is clean—it is still bloated with trillions. But because one of America's biggest creditors just walked away.

Japan, the largest foreign holder of US debt, is dumping Treasuries. As their bond yields rise, capital flows back to Tokyo—right when the US needs buyers the most. With over 38 trillion dollars in debt and interest payments now exceeding the defense budget, the math no longer works.

So who buys the debt now? The Fed. The buyer of last resort. The printing press is warming up again. But this time it is not about stimulus. It is about survival.

This is how currency resets unfold. Declining demand for debt. Surging yields. Central bank intervention. Confidence erodes. The dollar weakens. And in the end, only real assets survive.

There is a reason gold is outperforming stocks, Bitcoin, and even the so-called Magnificent Seven. It is not speculation. It is insurance.
